New Task Force Admiral footage featured on Military Aviation History on Youtube!
Hear Hear, dear fans!
Great thanks to Chris from Military Aviation History & Justin Pyke for this charming (and challenging) collab opportunity!
Loads of original never-seen Task Force Admiral footage featured today in this video which will tell you about the death ride of 4.Kokutai against USS Lexington in February 1942 off Bougainville. During this combat action, Lexington came very close to disaster. A lot of suspense and luck involved. Lady Lex scrambles her planes under fire, two suicidal Betties try to ram her, a SBD shoots down a bomber, Butch O'Hare becomes Ace in a day... Quite the eventful afternoon if you ask me!
We feature prominently in the first half, but any fan of the PTO is obviously highly encouraged to watch this one. Lots of contents and trivia you will certainly find both interesting and entertaining.

And don't forget to check out also Michael Claringbould & Peter Ingman's fantastic work published by Avonmore Books, which was abundantly used and quoted in the making of this video, and have been very supportive of us. Cheers & have a good one!
